fgummett - I'm not that experienced with Type 2, but why would you be on a pump with type 2? I guess it must be a serious Type 2. Several extended family members have type 2 in my family, but I've never been able to connect that to my type 1. I'm sure genetically there is a connection, but research doesn't seem to suggest that connection.
Sounds like a geek to me

My specialist started me on insulin within my first year as we both felt it would give me the best control for a long and healthy life. I started on MDI but not too long after (being a geek myself) learned about the pump... I have not looked back yet and have great control

As for being the "serious Type 2" there is a whole other thread about that discussion
